Verb tense

Are there any English teachers out there who could conjugate the verb, 'To Dive' ?

to dive (third-person singular simple present dives, present participle diving, simple past and past participle dived or dove)

dive - Wiktionary

"The past tense dove is found chiefly in North American English, where it is used alongside the regular (and earlier) dived, with regional variations; in British English dived is the standard past tense, dove existing only in some dialects. As a past participle, dove is relatively rare. (Cf. Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary; The American Heritage Dictionary; The Cambridge Guide to English Usage)"

I get the feeling of how it works.

"We went diving this weekend. We dove right in. We dived all weekend long."

But, what are the rules???

Or it could go "We dived right in. We dove all weekend". Both are correct

"Dived" or "Dove"??

I've had enough! I'm just going to speak Latin from now on. To heck with the rest of the world. That's right, to heck with them.

What's that in Latin?
